You may not agree with the cheeky politics of Zed Plus. But you can’t deny its integrity warmth and humour.

At times Happy Ending is a savagely wicked ,sinfully irreverent smart and sassy rom-com. At other times, it just doesn’t move. And because the co-directors know how to hold our attention even when his protagonist is stricken by ennui, we can safely assume that some sharp writing skills are at work here even when there isn’t much happening on the surface.

For a large part of this brief film nothing seems to be happening.At least, nothing that we can consider dramatic enough to be considered cinematic in the acceptable sense. As I watched Sarovar Banka’s understated dialectic on the dynamics of the diasporic dilemma I wondered how he convinced his actors to do the film!

If you love art and cinema, and cinema as art, then don’t miss this one. The best film of the year.

The Shaukeens is a rib-tickling rumbustious sleaze-less comedy that Basu Chatterjee is likely to smile at.It’s bound to make you laugh out loud .

Unless you are Jackky Bhagnani.

Fireflies is an imperfect film about flawed characters who disguise their spiritual ennui in tailored postures of sophistication.It’s not a great film. But it’s sincere and a largely well-crafted piece of cinema about fractured lives frozen in compromised relationships.

You may not think much of the characters’ shallow shindigs during the time of exceptional stress. But one thing is for sure. You’ve never seen anything like this in Hindi cinema.

For all its sins of excesses HNY is a full-on paisa-vasool experience. It is a rollicking rumbustious ode to the spirit of whopping howling shrieking and bantering camaraderie. Filled with tongue-in-cheek episodes of hip-swaying audacity the all-pervasive madness is infectious.

Ignore the malicious comments on the film. Go see Sonali Cable. It is a very original and intelligent script, deftly edited and performed. Yes , debutant Charudutt Acharya is a better writer than a director.His characters are must have appeared far more interesting on paper. But then, cinema is not about the written word only. It’s a lot more.

Wild and wacky Tamanchey is an enjoyable rollercoaster rider about two mismatched criminals on the run who fall hopelessly in love.

You know where this reckless couple is hurling to. But that doesn’t stop this bang-bang affair from being a fun ride .
